Giving Back

At High Country Apps we are committed to the outdoors. Because of that commitment, a portion of all our app proceeds goes to support
organizations that work for natural resource conservation, education, and research. The United States
enjoys some of the finest public lands anywhere in the world--national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges,
not to mention state, county, and city lands.
The preservation and enhancement of these lands depends on an engaged public that is committed to their stewardship.
As such, each year High Country Apps donates or shares a substantial portion of our app proceeds with groups
committed to protecting and/or understanding our public lands. Those of us who use the outdoors benefit from the collective efforts of
these groups, and others like them, every day. Thank you to all of our wonderful customers--you are helping support these group with
each app purchase. Following is a list of organizations we currently support:
